Switchback Trail Airflow Boot - Women's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I was blown away by how breathable and light these feel on the trail. The suede upper is beautiful but also super functional—it’s hydrophobic and durable. The HH Max-Grip outsole sticks to rocky, uneven terrain, and the heel and toe guards give me confidence in sketchy spots. The comfort insole is legit—no hot spots even after long hikes. If you're after a stylish hiker that performs well in dry or variable terrain, this is a standout pick."

Built for winding ridgelines, dusty switchbacks, and sunlit alpine scrambles, the Switchback Trail Airflow Boots balance rugged performance with sleek design. Helly Hansen crafted these lightweight hiking boots with premium, responsibly sourced suede that repels water and looks great doing it. Paired with a recycled, breathable lining and HH Max-Vent tech, they keep our feet cool and dry even on warm-weather hikes.

Underfoot, the HH Max-Grip outsole delivers secure footing across varied terrain, while reinforced toe and heel caps shield against unexpected trail hazards. A padded collar and HH Max-Comfort insole provide day-long cushioning and support. Thoughtfully designed with recycled materials throughout and a PFC-free water-repellent finish, these boots are built for those of us who hike hard and tread lightly.
